Red Dahlias - SOLD

This painting was from the first day of our Plein Air 2008 paint out. A group of 30 painters painted at the Gorge White House in Hood River, OR. I have a link to the Plein Air Blog on my list of blogs, there are some good photos of artists painting outside.

Hood River Valley - SOLD

I was painting from Sakura Ridge Farm and Lodge, it's beautiful up there (sort of an understatement). I am participating in the Pacific Northwest Plein Air 2008, in Hood River. Here's a link to the blog, I am posting photos every day from the event. There are 30 artists who have been selected to participate this year.

I don't know why the date doesn't show up for this painting at the top like all the rest of the posts.

Summer Radishes - SOLD

I was looking around for something red to paint, and there they were. Bright reddish pinkish summer radishes in the farmers market. The shadows are always my favorite part.

3 Bowls - SOLD


The colors and shapes of these bowls is what attracted me to them. I like the way that the shapes are uneven with the stacked bowls. I think they will be good in some other paintings too.
